Had an order for another Priest, so I got to work.

Cut the Stag Horn to length 9" Aprox, drilled & leaded the end, bit extra weight, fitted end caps on both ends, made out of Cherry, buffed them up, then a Decorative Brass Bead to finish off, on both, + a Brass Name Tag that can be engraved.

The Nylon Land yard is for decoration only, not the right colour for the purpose in the field, needs to be swapped for a Leather Lace, then fit a small Toggle to finish off.

A Four Pointer came my way, so I decided to do something with the Antlers....I Mounted them onto a Solid Oak Oval Base with a Oval Name Plate, Stained & Polished it, fitted the Antlers, one side was damaged so I capped it off with Buffalo Horn with a Brass Bead, + a Salmon Fly.

A Nice Presentation Piece.

Would have looked even better with a leather strap.
but still very nice

Yep I know, cobblers didn't have any, so had to make do with a white braided one for the photo's, white is totally the wrong colour, the lad who got it I think has replaced it for one, I hope, I advised him to at the time.

Hi B16ave, the whole issue aprox a week, a lot of hidden work, finishing takes the time up aswell.

I like to set two Priests away at once, if possible, (materials allowing), so I'll always be able to work on one, saving time.

The Base is pretty straight forward, finding the right size Antlers being the main problem,

Cheers

BF.
